The Pistons will travel to Minny to face the lottery-bound T-Wolves in a meaningless game for both teams. This is the kind of game that Detroit will probably chill, the "Zoo Crew" should see plenty of action in this one.

The term meaningless game should not be taken lightly IMO. Although the #2 seed is secured in the east, there is still a possibility that when the Pistons beat the Celtics in the ECF, homecourt adv in the finals is still up for grabs. Currently the Pistons are 1.5 games ahead of the Hornets and Spurs and 2.5 ahead of the Lakers.

I know we can beat all three teams, but I would feel more comfortable if the those first two games and the last two if needed, were at the Palace of Auburn Hills. Especially vs the Lakers and Spurs where we lost game 7 in 1988 and 2005 to these two teams on their home courts...

So just don't show up, go there to win.....That means the starters have to play well enough for the bench to come in and finish the job!!

Yup, they did sweep both the Spurs and Hornets so if they finish with the same records we got them, but the Spurs winners of six straight are playing to win every game......we got Sheed, Billups and Rip who might be just waiting for the playoffs

Didn`t really think about homecourt in the Finals, and I bet the Pistons aren`t thinking about it either!

They better take it as the old saying goes, "one game at at time"!

I just don`t see the urgency of them coming out against a team like the T-Wolves with the mindset of winning for homecourt advantage in The Finals.

He should break it just to set a good tone for what should be the priority for the team, winning championships. Personal streaks are worthless if they create a block to what is important, like Tay getting some rest. I tell you what, if Tay can guarantee we are going to win it all this year, and back it up, sure, let him continue the streak. Or else have him rest a few games. (For the first time in several years.)
